RAILROAD SCHEDULE.
Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 26. '87-
invitations to visit different cities
af1 towns have so accumulated upon
t! hands of President Cleveland that
il really has become necessary TO en-
j y additional clerical force on this
~, sount alone. Had the tempestuous
Z tile been able to forsee these results
O. his blatant utterings he surely would
We desisted and such popular tributes
v uld perhaps never have been paid
Il chief magistrate of the nation.
BIT, in the wise dispenSation of proVi-
d ace, even little significant creatures
T tile often mysteriously rise up and
de good without knowing how or why.
z en-, l say, all hail futile! His CRATE
f. country, especially the western and
s. Ithern sections, should arise and call
h "a blessed for his fundamentally in
ayJusing the president to the impor-
tSlce OF making the first extensive tour
@ his administration.
SIS ] reflect on the projected visit Of
b =. Cleveland, | trust you will pardon
II for taking a retrospective view OF
tie travels Of our earlier presidents.
NJ. Monroe was the first of them to
c, 'ry out the idea of a trip of this kinG
raveling in his coach through New
j. gland and as far westward as Ohio
q / being everywhere cordially receiv-
e. President jackson Travelled by
e. rriage all the way from Tennessee to
t'9 capital and later in the same con-
', vance made a tour of New England,
.ich to the surprise of his political
O. Donents who supposed it was an ele-
L, Mt of weakness, was a continuous
a. alton, adding greatly to his popu-
j. ity.
The building of railroads seems to
b We had the singular effect OF damp
e. 'ng the travelling ard0r of the presi-
q ats, so that most of the executives,
q wn 10 the days of johnson and
G ant, were confirmed stay -at-homes,
bit the two latter, rs is we'll known,
IL de the most of their opportunities
j facilities OF travel,
rhe amount of trade dollars redeemed
t. date is about 81 100000; the time ex-
pres by Limitation on Sept. 3rd, and it
l. supposed most of their coin is now in
LLs treasury vaults; there is some ex-
cess over the amount estimated to he
OF, which is accounted for by tho i'm
pDrtation from foreign countries. This
week the treasury paid out sixteen and
quarter millions for pensions, b.;
Notwithstanding this heavy disburse-
mcnt the excess of government receipts
over expenditures this month is about
IT, ZEE and half million dollars.
The tall sycamore of the wabash is
heurishing his senatorial tomahawk for
mugwump scalp-no less person than
u lited States Treasurer Hyatt, the
c use of the latter's refusal to remove
Oae of his favorite $4,000 clerks who is
n offensive republican partisan from
diana. 1t is said 10 be the declared
purpose of Senator voorhees,, together
" th his democratic associates on the
ii ance committee, Messrs. Beck and
' nee, to use all means in their power
to defeat Treasurer Hyatt's contirma-
tiCn.
There was a great sensation in the
pension office a day or two since, caus-
eG by the arrest OF a clerk named Rich
81 Drummer for stealing the records OF
that office pr the benefit OF a prOmi-
nant claim attorney OF this city. The
clerk confesses his guilt, but the lawyer
W no must answer to the charge of re-
csiying stolen documents stOutly denies
tie accusation, endeavoring to shield
himself behind discharged clerk OF
h office who, he says, committed the
oEence to serve a malicious purpose
